İhram
İhram has an important place in Bayburt handicrafts. Ihram, or as it is known in the region, ehram, is a local garment prepared by weaving on a ihram loom made of wool and used by women in Bayburt to cover up. The history of weaving ihram, an old Turkish tradition, dates back to ancient times in Bayburt. İhram, the raw material of which is sheep wool, is shaped and woven as a work of art with a tool called “Teshi” in the skillful hands of women. Today, although ihram is not used as much as before, accessories such as bedspreads, tablecloths, modernized women’s clothes (vests, shawls, scarves, hats, etc.), ties and bags are produced.
